Ingredients

  • 1cup chickpeas, soaked overnight in plenty of water
  • 6 cups water
  • 1\2 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
  • 1tsp. salt
  • 1\4 cup. oil
  • 1tsp. chaat masala
  • 1 tsp. chilli powder
  • 1 level tsp. ground cumin
  • 1\4 cup imli ka ras
  • 2 large potatoes, boiled, peeled and cubed

Directions

1

Put the chick peas in a large heavy-based saucepan, add the water, salt and the bicarbonate of soda and bring to boil.

2

Cover the pan and boil the chick peas for about 2 hours until they are tender but still retain their shape.

This process can be speeded up in a pressure cooker. Use half the quantity of water.

Once the chick peas have become tender keep them in the boiled water. It will be used at a later stage.

5

Heat oil in a medium heavy based saucepan over medium heat.

6

Add chaat masala, chilli powder cumin, imli ka ras, potatoes, chickpeas and water. Stir gently until well combined.

7

Cover and cook over low heat for about 5-8 minutes.
